A rifle shot in London and a visiting head of state falls dead. Iris Allsop in her retirement bungalow on the south coast hears of the assassination on the radio. 'Poor man,' she thinks, 'but there, it's nothing to do with me, is it?'
America, for so long regarded as the land of the young, is rapidly ageing. Teenagers are now outnumbered by the over-65s. Within 40 years it is estimated that 60 per cent of the population will be over 70 and the country's the first in the world to push up the retirement age to 67 for men and women.
Marjorie Lofthouse examines our reaction to what is seen as one of the more difficult social and economic problems of the 21st century. She talks to social workers and politicians and looks at the psychology of the body's ageing process.

This has influenced how and what they write, but it also has a great impact on how the writer views his job. with OTTO ORBAN.
